.SH SYNOPSIS

[BUP_DIR=\f[I]localpath\f[R]] bup init [-r
\f[I]host\f[R]:\f[I]path\f[R]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\f[C]bup init\f[R] initializes your local bup repository.
By default, BUP_DIR is \f[C]\[ti]/.bup\f[R].
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-r, --remote=\f[I]host\f[R]:\f[I]path\f[R]
Initialize not only the local repository, but also the remote repository
given by the \f[I]host\f[R] and \f[I]path\f[R].
This is not necessary if you intend to back up to the default location
on the server (ie.
a blank \f[I]path\f[R]).
The connection to the remote server is made with SSH.
If you\[cq]d like to specify which port, user or private key to use for
the SSH connection, we recommend you use the \f[C]\[ti]/.ssh/config\f[R]
file.
